Kho Gaye Hum Kahan

I am truly at a loss of words after watching this movie. I didn't expect much to begin with and I was genuinly surprised at how great the story is. Yes, I am one of those people whose heart strings are easy to pull but I won't lie, I was not ready for what this movie held in store.

Ah how much I love Adarsh Gaurav. He always manages to be in the best movies. I love his persona and the presence he creates is just brilliant. Siddhant was a surprise as well. I remember being a little disappointed in both him and Ananya after Gehraiyaan. I hated that movie but Siddhant can really portray a charismatic womanizer, the perfect cassanova and this movie uses him to achieve that brilliantly. Ananya, seems to have grown a lot. This performance definitely falls under her top 3, heck I would call it her best performance yet. Pretty darn impressive.

About the movie, like I said before, with a name "inspired" by the lyrics of a song, I didn't, I couldn't expect much. I decided to watch the movie at 1.25x speed and yes, the first half is kinda slow and could've been paced faster but doesn't matter, as the movie progressed, it revealed a lot layers deep within itself. The portrayal of the ugly things that go behind social media, the toxic influencer culture that permeates our society. It is a revealation. I loved that these topics were covered because I am definitely in for that.

I would love it if more such movies are made and hopefully these messages are taken positively by the community and we learn something from these. Really wish for that to happen.

Arjun Varain Singh's directorial venture 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan' is a testament to his skill and vision, beautifully encapsulating the essence of relationships in the digital era. The film supporting actors will look like equally important as Ananya, Siddhant and Adarsh, all of them has given such a wonderful performance and offers a deep dive into how social media shapes our perceptions and interactions. The storytelling is both engaging and enlightening, offering a nuanced look at the complexities of modern life. It's a film that not only entertains but also initiates important conversations about the digital age.

A modern story for today's people, particularly those who live and breathe in the vast, demanding world of social media and the Internet.

"Kho Gaye Hum Kahan" is a sincere, sympathetic account of their triumphs, difficulties, and stories in general, while also putting emphasis on the positive aspects of these virtual platforms as well as the negative impacts they may have on our lives.

Our ever-shrinking attention span, the constant craving for validation, and the lack of emotional connection are all challenges to which I feel we can all identify, at least to some extent.

Furthermore, the script is quite effective here as are the characters, you grow so attached to them, their private lives, and I must say, whomever had thought of casting Ananya, Adarsh, and Siddhant as the lead trio deserves to be applauded.

Not only did they gel so well, but they also appeared and acted like real-life best friends, with absolutely no trace of superficiality anywhere, so we ended up loving and rooting for the bond and friendship they shared.

What a beaut!

Beautiful pacing, heartwarming narration and such sublime acting by the cast! Right from the 3 leads to the supporting actors, everyone was woven perfectly into the fabric of this story.

It's the kind of movie that holds your hand and walks across a sunset beach. A sunset beach you never knew existed, because you had your darned head up your phone's keister.

The music wasn't a show stealer, which was actually great! They worked so well with the moments and just enough so as not to pull too much attention away from the story itself.

AND this comes at such a great time.

All hearts :)

*Kho gaye hum kahan* is a proper flashback to the today's world and generation we sre living in. It has good music, a strong storyline, great characters, nice humor, and a message to all the people like us who are too much into the world of social media now, that we have lost our own identity, our own pleasures, our own life. The movie makes us question our choices, our daily routine, in a very subtle way. The movie is about three friends who have their own battles going on, one who is a gym freak, another who is a creative business mind, while the last one, the funny guy, and their traumas of life. It felt complete to me, the way they have shown the struggles of life, each one facing their own demons, it is very relatable, I just wanted some deep dialogues to be honest, that would have made this one a much better watch. The songs are great, not memorable, but with deep lyrics indeed. The last 20 minutes are very intense, and it will make you cry, if you have a past trauma. The first half is like a honeymoon period of everyone's life, with small inconveniences, but the movie escalates to the dark reality of everyday struggle, really quickly. People who have faced them in real life, will relate more, and those who don't, I hope you never do, but someday you will. It is a perfect watch, to make real life resolutions, and see how beautiful life is.
